Did the New York Times break the law by giving a huge discount to MoveOn.org to run that anti-Petraeus advertisement? Complaint filed with FEC over ‘Betray Us’ ad.

Rudy Giuliani wants the same discount.

There's no way the "old gray lady" is going to give anyone on the center-right a discount on an ad. Pinchy will probably charge them double.

Tech question!

You know how some Web sites, instead of giving you an email address to contact them with, give you a "Web contact form" that you can fill out and then click "submit", which then commands the browser to send them a Web-based email?

Well, my question is: is there any way to find out the actual email address to which your submission was sent? Any way to reverse-engineer it and extract the recipient's email from the process?

13 oh2be21  Thu, Sep 13, 2007 12:33:20pm

I say the FEC should require them to provide all the candidates with this kind of discount. I would be the end of that kind of nonsense by any media outlet. May not vote for Rudy in the end, but I'm with him on this one. The most vile hateful thing I've seen. To think they killed a bunch of trees to print it is even more insulting. ALGORE should protest them.

Or maybe is it they just don't care?

Yeah, Giuliani will get the discount.

IF he offers an ad that explains how Bushitler, Cheney and the Halliburton gang invented the whole War on Terror to help out Bushitler's oil-rich buddies and give the Administration a big boost in the polls by making Bushitler a wartime president.

Otherwise, no discount.

It depends on the code they used to generate the email. In most cases, no, but if they just used something simple, you might be able to view the source of the page and extract it. But that's a big, big if.

re: #18 Charles

Some hosting sites have a premade script and the individual using it just has to pass the email address as a variable to the script. So in some cases you can find it. Not often, but every once in a while.

It's a great strategy. After the dems complete their plan to allow all criminals and dead people a vote (or 2 or 3 apiece), the plan is to go for the animal right to vote. There would be a decent chance that puppies in potty training and caged birds would read what they are poopin on. Rudy just might get something positive out of an artfully placed ad.

Washington, 13 Sept. (AKI) - US President George Bush warned North Korea last year against transferring nuclear material to Syria, Iran or a terrorist organisation, saying such a move would be perceived as a "grave threat," according to a former senior government official.

In a telephone conversation with the Israeli daily, Haaretz, former US ambassador to the UN, John Bolton, said Bush had issued the warning because the administration feared North Korea could be using Syria and Iran as "safe havens" for its nuclear activity.

Can the "soft-money" veil be pierced and the MoveOn entity is a front for the Democrat party, DNC? If so then does not the $102K dscount violate federal election laws.

40 peck  Thu, Sep 13, 2007 12:43:50pm

As a former prosecutor, my guess is Rudy understands full well that the discount is considered a campaign donation and subject to the laws that apply to that particular type of donation. I'm no lawyer, but I don't think Rudy would play that card unless he knew he is was correct.
As a test to see how valid it is, stand by and see how many lawyers come out of the woodwork in droves to appear as talking heads and opinion piece authors defending the discount in the next few days.

Oh for Pete's sake...moonbats never stop flying...

..TEHRAN -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has told an American professor that he can be buried in the historic town of Isfahan in central Iran, the semi-official Mehr news agency said Thursday.

Richard Nelson Frye, aged 87, professor at the Iran and Central Asia Studies Center at Harvard University, wrote to the Iranian president seeking his permission, the agency said.

Frye told Ahmadinejad he had spent his life making known the culture and civilization of ancient Iran and Islamic Iran, and had always loved Isfahan. He wanted to be buried there, to show the indestructible links between the Iranian and American people.

The Iranian leader said the request showed: "the desire of two peoples for justice, monotheism, and humanitarian and divine values."

He added: "While hoping for a long life for this dear professor, who has consecrated his life to making known the ancient heritage of our culture ... and Islamic culture, we must ensure that this request be granted."

Syrian & North Korean mischief goes back a while,

In 2004, returning from a trip to Beijing, there was a massive explosion at a North Korean border crossing, just hours after Kim's train transited that location. Some South Korean analysts believe the blast was a failed assassination plot; however, some media reports indicate that Syrian military technicians died in the explosion, suggesting that it might have been related to some sort of WMD project between Damascus and Pyongyang. Security was reportedly tight as Kim's train crossed the North Korea-China border yesterday; it will probably be even tighter on the return trip.

Good for Guiliani!

As to the New Yuk Times fish wrap, Rudy is OVER-PAYING! But, given the Net's propensity to give Rudy this kind of FREE SPACE; whatever it costs, is worth every penny.

As to the Move-on goof balls; the one thing the Net has is "mileage." Just wait till U-Tube keeps the memories alive.

There was so much good stuff out there, that, believe me, anyone at home with time, and photo-chop-chop; and the knowhow to put something up on U-Tube; will delight us with the nonsense the Bonkeys permitted to happen inside the senate!

Wanna know how bad it could become? Try multiplying "hand-signals" in the men's toilet ...

With what happens when the "secret's out."

Because? Before, a man wouldn't be up-ended by his ankles; and dunked inside a toilet bowl, for "soliciting" a straight guy.

Do you know why? The straight guy would probably think he was being asked to "pass a few sheets of toilet paper."

Such non-verbal antics now have a life of their own.

And, sometimes? You bet, a man could want "something" from a guy who is cute and straight.

Which is why secret hand-gestures were born, in the first place.

And, just like that! After decades. EXPOSED.

If the Bonkeys think they did well spitting towards Petraeus; they're as stupid as the criminals who defaced the Vietnam Memorial. Sure. Late at night. Nobody's around. And, 2/3rds of the memorial are now all gunked up; with a destructive substance that defies removal.

..TEHRAN -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has told an American professor that he can be buried in the historic town of Isfahan in central Iran, the semi-official Mehr news agency said Thursday.
Richard Nelson Frye, aged 87, professor at the Iran and Central Asia Studies Center at Harvard University, wrote to the Iranian president seeking his permission, the agency said. Frye told Ahmadinejad he had spent his life making known the culture and civilization of ancient Iran and Islamic Iran, and had always loved Isfahan. He wanted to be buried there, to show the indestructible links between the Iranian and American people.

The Iranian leader said the request showed: "the desire of two peoples for justice, monotheism, and humanitarian and divine values."
He added: "While hoping for a long life for this dear professor, who has consecrated his life to making known the ancient heritage of our culture ... and Islamic culture, we must ensure that this request be granted."

This startling bit of info. from Cavuto. The unrelenting effort to break the back of the middle class and throw the economy into a serious recession continues.

When a hurricane hits oil refineries, and reduces refined product production, if supply and demand were previously balanced, if the price doesn't change, shortage will result.


Who should pay for it?

Authors of Cambridge University Press Title Secure Rights to Their Banned Book

The authors of the book Alms for Jihad have regained rights to the book, which was pulped and put out of print by Cambridge University Press (CUP) after a Saudi sheik filed suit for libel in the UK, and are hoping to get it published in the U.S.

Sheikh Khalid bin Mahfouz filed the suit against CUP because the book links him with terrorist activities, claims which Cambridge called "manifestly false." The case has garnered the attention of government officials here in the US. PW sister publication Library Journal reports that coauthor Robert O. Collins spent most of last week in Washington, DC, invited by Congressman Frank Wolf (R-VA), where he addressed "some 20 senior figures from law enforcement, the intelligence community, and homeland security," on the entire affair. "Evidently, the government has been following this case in order to defend the rights of its citizens to write and publish without fear of Islamist intimidation," Collins said.

Earlier this week, Collins published his account of the "sordid and sorry saga" in an editorial on the History News Network web site. Collins reported that CUP sent letters to "280 libraries around the world asking them to withdraw the book or insert an erratum slip" and "pulped 2,340 existing copies." CUP also agreed to make a monetary payment and issued a stunning public apology. The authors, however, have refused to be part of any settlement. Collins repeated his coauthor Millard Burr's defense of their book: "Alms for Jihad had been meticulously researched, our interpretations judicious, our conclusions made in good faith on the available evidence."

Someone needs to start a website encouraging people cancel their subscriptions and to boycott the advertisers of the NYT.

When someone boycotts an advertiser, a message will be sent to the company telling the CEO that they will not buy their products or services again until they stop supporting that anti-American newspaper. (A boycot works better if feedback is provided to the company).

Since it appears not to have been mentioned yet, let me point out some pretty careless and callous words John Boehner used in a CNN interview with Wolf Blitzer yesterday.

WOLF BLITZER: How much longer will U.S. taxpayers have to shell out $2 billion a week or $3 billion a week as some now are suggesting the cost is going to endure? The loss in blood, the Americans who are killed every month, how much longer do you think this commitment, this military commitment is going to require?

REP. JOHN BOEHNER: I think General Petraeus outlined it pretty clearly. We’re making success. We need to firm up those successes. We need to continue our effort here because, Wolf, long term, the investment that we’re making today will be a small price if we’re able to stop al Qaeda here, if we’re able to stabilize the Middle East, it’s not only going to be a small price for the near future, but think about the future for our kids and their kids.

So, Rep. Boehner, 5000 dead American servicemen and women, contractors, and journalists are a small price? Be more careful in your choice of words if you're going to go around criticizing others.'

I know about free speech and all but my nephew didn't die so that scum like that guy could walk on our flag.

Armyaunt. I think I'd be appalled if someone did that in front of me. A General that was asked to come on fox and talk about these types had the best answer. There was a pundit on the split screen with him too to present the *other side*.

They both were asked about what they think about the people who had nasty speech almost borderline traitorous language.

The pundit quipped...It's free speech and that is why blood is shed for it and I would die for their right to say it. I bet that guy has never even had anyone be in the armed forces and has no clue the impact of that statement.

The General answered...I don't fight for those types of people, I do what I do for the patriotic Americans. Basically in essence, those traitors could kiss it. I could tell he wanted to really rip them haha...but he was so controlled in his answer.

So now, if I hear people talk about free speech about crapping on the flag or saying how much they hate america, I use his answer...I'd never die for THEIR right to tear America apart, I would however die for others' that love America. Let the traitors fend for themselves!

Even though MorOn.org paid for this ad, (at a discounted rate not given other vendors) The NY Slimes still has editorial responsiblity when it comes to anything they publish. To print something like this about a career military man who has given his life to serve his country proves that The New York Slimes editorial staff shares the same opinions as the low-lifes at Moron.Org. As far as I'm concerned, anything Moron.Org says, does, or publishes should be burned at the stake.

Notice it does not say that Congress can not make a law abridging the freedom of marketing firms. The NYT is not "Press" in a traditional sense. Its just an advertising firm for the global leftist movement. As such, the NYT ought to be forced to comply with the rules in Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commision Act that prohibit unfair or deceptive advertising just like all the other advertising firms out there.

The New York Times ad that size normally runs about 180 thousand dollars, but they gave it to moveon.org for 60 thousand, because they agreed with what the ad said: it questioned General Petraeus' patriotism and accused him of treason, calling him "General Betray Us".

By covering 2/3 of the cost of that ad, essentially The New York Times itself placed that ad denouncing the patriotism of our commander in Iraq.

What is even worse, none of the Democrat candidates has denounced the content of that ad, which accuses General Petraeus of "cooking the books", and accuses him of being unpatriotic and of betraying our country. Hillary Clinton has not denounced the content of the ad; Barack Obama has not denounced the content of the ad; John Edwards has not denounced the content of the ad.

These Dem candidates for President of the USA and Commander in Chief of our armed forces refuse to put any separation between themselves and the content of this ad denouncing the patriotism of General Petraeus, because they want to stay in the pockets of the radical Left, in the pockets of moveon.org extremists, and of the nutroots community of the extreme Left.

You know he's accurate though, right? It is not a criminal offense to either enter or be in the US 'illegally'. It is only a misdemeanor to enter illegally and there is no law on the books stating that it is illegal to be here afterwards.

I don't like the fact that that's the law, but you shouldn't take it out on Rudy for telling the truth.
